Annapurna Sanctuary is a high glacial basin lying north of Pokhara. Situated below a ring of eleven of Nepal’s major peaks, it has spectacular views of each of these giants. This magnificent amphitheater is called a ‘sanctuary’ not because of laws that protect wildlife within its boundaries, but because of its natural serenity, beauty and the divine presence of the Hindu goddesses Annapurna and Gangapurna. One can sit in the Sanctuary meadows at 4000m enjoying the views of these legendary mountains towering several kilometres above in all directions. (The varieties of alpine flowers and lichens make these meadows brilliant with colour at certain times of the year). This isolated cirque of peaks can only be approached by one route, a deep gorge that carves into the fortress of mountains between Machapuchare and Hiunchuli.

We have been organizing Annapurna Sanctuary trek every year with many departures, and you can either join one of our groups providing the fixed departure time or we can also organize the trek on private basis,

Respective expenses if one returns earlier from the trip due to sickness or emergency purpose.
